Book Review Friday: Blue Skies Tomorrow

I'm continuing my January book reviews with Sarah Sundin's third novel release, Blue Skies Tomorrow, her final installment of the Wings of Glory series.
 
 
Lt. Raymond Novak prefers the pulpit to the cockpit, but at least his stateside job training B-17 pilots allows him the luxury of a personal life. As he courts Helen Carlisle, a young war widow and mother who conceals her pain under a frenzy of volunteer work, the sparks of their romance set a fire that flings them both into peril. After Ray leaves to fly a combat mission at the peak of the air war over Europe, Helen takes a job in a dangerous munitions yard and confronts an even graver menace in her own home. Will they find the courage to face their challenges? And can their young love survive until blue skies return?




Filled with tender romance, witty dialogue, and suspense this book has it all! It's a great read for the weekend and its characters will warm your heart despite the plummeting temperatures outside.
I enjoyed this gripping, World War II romance and would gladly read it again.

Look for Blue Skies Tomorrow online or in your local bookstore!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Chit-Chat Tuesday: Now That the Honeymoon Is Over . . . A Valentine's Day Tradition

So let's do it . . . let's talk Valentine's Day. My husband and I are not big fans of Valentine's Day. Why? Well, we feel every day should be a day to love your spouse , to do kind things for them, and so on. We practice this as a couple...actually, maybe 'practice' isn't the right word--it's now something we just do for each other. I'll never forget walking into church that one Sunday morning after getting back from our honeymoon. Several couples made their way to us saying something to the effect of, "Welcome back! Now that the honeymoon is over, real life begins ," and "This honeymoon won't last ." I remember walking away and glancing at my new husband. He returned my same awkward smile and furrowed brow expression. Later, in the privacy of our car ride home, we shared what we thought of those comments. And what we shared that day became our standard for the future of our marriage . Negative comments and words of utt

Chit-Chat Tuesday: An Honest Message to Single Women

Originally this post was supposed to be a simple Facebook posting; just a thought that came to me after my quiet time with God. But then it morphed into a full length, too-long-to-write-on-Facebook type article. I'm not sure how many single women follow my pages or read my books. However, I felt the Lord put these words on my heart to share with them.  Dating Yes, that's the topic I want to talk about today.  Dating is one of those life curves that is loved or loathed. My opinion on the matter is I believe it's all in how well your life is rooted and grounded in the Lord. It's not something to stress over as long as your faith is rooted deep in the Word of God. Over the years countless single women have approached me with the same question, "How did you know that Chris was THE ONE?" My reply was a simple one, saying something to the effect of, "It's an overwhelming sense of peace and calm. I just knew." Now I realize how vague that reply

Book Review Friday: Sarah Sundin, A Distant Melody

Image
1 Corinthians 13:4 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up." Sarah Sundin's debut novel, A Distant Melody, is a must read!! I cannot stress it enough. Both men and women will be drawn into this beautifully written story page after page. Never pretty enough to please her gorgeous mother, Allie will do anything to gain her approval--even marry a man she doesn't love. Lt. Walter Novak--fearless in the cockpit but hopeless with women--takes his last furlough at home in California before being shipped overseas. Walt and Allie meet at a wedding and their love of music draws them together, prompting them to begin a correspondence that will change their lives. As letters fly between Walt's muddy bomber base in England and Allie's mansion in an orange grove, their friendship binds them together. But can they untangle the secrets, commitments, and expectations that keep them apart?
